Pear ‘Conference’ / ‘Concorde’ / ‘Williams’ Bon Chrétien’

Three different types of pears have been grafted onto this ‘family’ tree, which will bear a sucession of fruit from late summer to mid-autumn. The chosen varieties will all cross-pollinate freely, so there is no need to plant another tree nearby, making it particularly useful for smaller gardens. This tree has been grafted with the following varieties –

‘Conference’ AGM – originating from Hertfordshire in 1885, this dessert pear is still one of the most reliable and sought after. The delicious, long, yellowish green fruits ripen in September.

‘Doyenné Du Comicé ‘ AGM – an outstanding pear, which is renowned for its flavour, texture and taste. Ready to harvest in mid October.

‘Williams’ Bon Chrétien’– an old English variety dating back to 1770, yielding an early crop of very sweet and juicy pears that have a greenish gold skin. Ready to harvest from August.
